Legend

The copper scale dragonias proceed through the underground space with no attack on the Rays at all.

It was at first that they acted a little...... no, I was pretty suspicious Ray, but still, beyond walking around for quite a while and nothing happens, I guess for now this isn't trying to fit ourselves into a trap, that's what I decide.

If some kind of trap had been set up, we would have thought we could handle it... but it certainly helped Ray that it wasn't an act to attract him to the trap for now.

"It's a bit of a problem that I don't have a sense of time."

"Right. On the ground, if you look at the sky, you can see a lot of time... in places like this, sort of."

If it's also a hole where you can see the ground around you, you'll be able to check the time.

However, in this underground space, where there are no holes, no windows, it is not possible to see the sky and check the current time.

If the glowing ground, ceiling or floor darkens with the passage of time, I guess I can also confirm the time, but unfortunately so far that has not been the case, and the light remains the first time it comes into this underground space.

… but in Ray's case, there is a magic item pocket watch in the misting, so I can check the time with it.

And when I put out my pocket watch and checked the time, about two hours had passed since I was guided by the dragonias of copper scales.

After all that time, I naturally learn to be hungry.

And if you realize you're hungry, that hunger becomes extra strong.

"You're hungry.... while walking, you want something to eat?

If I were you, I'd like to sit on the spot and eat something.

But the copper scaly dragonias that are guiding us didn't seem to listen to us, not very much.

That's why eating something doesn't mean eating while resting on the spot, only the option of eating while walking.

... If you don't mind losing sight of the dragonias of copper scales, you could have sat down and eaten them on the spot.

"Right. I don't know when I'll be able to eat next... you should eat when I can. I'm afraid I can't eat elaborate food because I'm walking. I don't know, soup or anything."

Eat while walking, so naturally you can't have a soup that's easy to zero.

Other than that, it's also difficult to cook like eating split into plates.

Again, this was the best place to cook like you could normally eat and walk around the city.

That's why Ray takes the sandwich for himself and Vihera and Seto out of Mystering.

Once the dragonias of copper scales are nearby, the spear of dusk was stored in the mistering, but only the death size is in my right hand so that I can always use it.

And eat while walking...... accidentally the copper scale dragonias stopped on his feet.

And stand still...... I'm going to look at Ray.

What the dragonias of copper scales want...... which Ray soon found out too.

Anyway, Dragonias is a hunger-dominated being.

Such dragonis... even if it's a copper scale dragonias with intelligence, if you look at the sandwiches the Rays are eating, there's no way they wouldn't have stimulated their appetite for it.

"Hey, you're staring at me, right?

Stop eating sandwiches and Vihella asks Ray that.

Though faceless, the mouth of the dragonias of the copper scales… from between the fangs, the saliva drips to the ground.

(What do we do?

I thought about it that way for a moment Ray, but in the end if the copper scale dragonias doesn't move, I don't know where to go - I guess I should head for something I'm seeing in the distance - so Ray takes one sandwich out of Mystering and gets close to the copper scale dragonias.

Between Ray and the copper scale dragonias, a moment of tension runs.

If you get something like attacking this way because of your proximity, you should swing the death size of your left hand immediately, thinking so...... Ray offers a sandwich just before the copper scale dragonias.

Its sandwich is sandwiched with roasted oak meat and fresh vegetables.

I bought freshly made and stored it in mysteries, so the aroma that drifts from that sandwich is an appetite-stimulating aroma that combines freshly baked oak meat with a sweet sauce.

You won't have to be a hunger-dominated dragonias, or even if that's just a normal human being, you'll be hungry for that scent.

(How do I get out?

Ray waits for the dragonias of copper scales to react, thinking so.

There is no doubt that the person in front of us was sent here by the Queen to guide us.

More than that, I can't think of a normal attack to take away the sandwich I'm currently offering...

In the first place, more than I'm offering, because this sandwich presupposes passing to a copper scale dragonias.

However... it is Dragonias that such common sense does not work.

That's why I was wondering how the hell you would react in a situation like this...

"Jahata Achana"

The dragonias of copper scales receive the sandwiches offered while still uttering words that Ray cannot understand.

It wasn't like snatching it abusively, let alone biting Ray's hand with a sandwich, either, but firmly receiving Ray's sandwich with his own hand.

On top of that, while even showing a bare gesture of caution so Ray's hand wouldn't get injured with Dragonias-specific sharp nails.

(This was... kinda unexpected. If I were to receive a sandwich without attacking this way, I would have thought it would be a much more abusive imitation. Is this because the dragonias of copper scales are highly intelligent? Or is this individual who guides us particularly intelligent?

While surprised by the unexpected dragonias behavior, Ray keeps an eye on the dragonias behavior with sandwiches.

I don't think you'll be attacking yourself from here on out more than you've been in this situation, but that's only what Ray would have expected.

Only Dragonias, which is moving in a completely different logic than Ray's, and that's what the hell we're going to do out of this situation, I don't know.

In some cases, even if he suddenly attacked Ray here, he didn't believe in Dragonias enough to be convinced of it.

But...... even though I said there was absolutely no point in such a ray concern, the copper scale dragonias carry the sandwich in his hand to his mouth in such a motion that he could say it was half-made.

Chewing sandwiches with sharp fangs...

"Hanja!?

Such a surprise was heard from the mouth of the copper scale dragonias as to whether the taste of the sandwich was completely unexpected.

It's obvious from the look on its face that you think it's delicious, not that it's not delicious.

The expression itself is very difficult to understand, but one can still tell by the atmosphere that he is happy.

(Well, usually living creatures...... they eat centaurs and other meat and cut it a thousand times, so I guess the very concept of cooking doesn't exist in Dragonias. If you think about it, this result is convincing)

Until now, anything raw... that's what I've been eating, not doing things like baking, boiling or steaming instead of seasoning.

For such a dragonias, how amazing was the sandwich?

The sandwich itself wasn't that small, but Dragonias is bigger than Ray.

It's a copper scale dragonias, so it's smaller than the other dragonias, but that's only a story compared to the other dragonias.

I can eat the sandwich Ray gave me without any problems in a single bite.

If you finish eating that way, you thought it wasn't enough, or the copper scaly dragonias will turn their gaze to Ray.

It was also easy for Ray to understand what that gaze indicated, so he took a new sandwich out of the mystering and gave it to the copper scale dragonias.

"Hatanja"

With that said, the dragonias of copper scales that receive the new sandwiches offered by Ray.

I don't know the language, but at the end of Ray's gaze, who's probably saying thank you, the copper scale dragonias quickly carries the sandwich to his mouth.

It was, and now instead of eating one at a time, he was eating a sandwich with those sharp fangs, little by little, trying to taste them well.

(If you look at it this way, the dragonias of copper scales can communicate quite a bit.... it just won't mean Dragonias and Centaur will have a friendly settlement more than they've come this far)

If this is the time when little damage has been done to Centaur yet, or it could have been a fortunate settlement for both sides.

But countless centaurs were eaten and killed, and the settlements were crushed.

Many Centaurs participating in the reconnaissance team naturally survived in such a way.

There are also survivors who, like Centaur, who were gathered in the settlement of Zai, were fed their settlement in a literal sense by Dragonias.

It would be impossible to tell such people to treat Dragonias more amicably now.

In some cases, there was a good chance that the Centaurs would launch an attack on Ray, who said such a thing.

Anyway, it's too late to do anything.

Now that is the situation where either Centaur or Dragonias will have to be wiped out.

"I hope you guys have a little more friendly contact with Centaur.... Well, the only person with intelligence is Dragonias more than the Commander, so I wouldn't normally have been able to help at the time Dragonias came out."

Listening to Ray's words like that, the copper scaly dragonias gaze at Ray as he eats a little sandwich.

That's what I thought maybe Ray would give me another extra sandwich.

But...... in the end, watching as Ray takes no action, the copper scaly dragonias devotes themselves to eating sandwiches again.

"That's more than that, isn't it?

That's what Vihera tells me, having finished her sandwich, as she looks at a dragonias of copper scales that are clearly different than before.

If I tried it on Vihela, the copper scale dragonias didn't seem that strong, so I shouldn't have been that interested in it.

Usually, even the dragonias of copper scales might have recognized them as powerful enemies, but now they would exist in this underground space, looking forward to fighting opponents like the dragonias of gold scales and the speckle-patterned dragonias that I had never fought before.

That's why I wasn't interested in copper scale dragonias now.

"I've finished my brief tummy, and it's time to move on. I don't know what's waiting for me... I'm just looking forward to thinking about it."

"In the case of Vihera, you can't keep an eye on Anastasia in a different way."

"Oh, yeah? Then you can keep your eyes off me the whole time, okay? As far as I'm concerned, you're welcome to do that."

The way you say that with a grin, it is only that that has the powerful destructive power to attract those who are watching.

However, in this underground space, the power of such fascination was never fully realized.

"Right, I'll do what I can."

If he was a normal guy, he was a Vihera grin that would soon show off his nodding charm, but Ray would just give that back to a half-throat.

I guess that means I was able to tolerate the beauty of Vihra as well.

"Anyway, there's no reason to stay like this forever. Suppose we move on?... Hey, let's move on."

After eating the sandwich, it was Ray speaking to the dragonias of copper scales remembering the first delicacies of his life, but unfortunately I can't understand Ray's words even when I hear them.

When that happens, I still have no choice but to encourage the copper scale dragonias to act as well... Ray took Vihera and Seto and walked out.
